About Me

Hi, my name is Debbie!

"I teach to enable, enliven and encourage"

While my background post secondary education and continual ongoing training have allowed me to gain expertise in the field of Early Childhood, I believe my greatest strength is my passion for working with young children.  I have been with Children's House Satellite Family Day Home program since 1993 (and over 40 children in my care later) I still continue to find joy in welcoming, nurturing and teaching in my North side Day Home.

I reinforce my philosophy, "CHILDREN ARE ABLE, THEY LEARN THROUGH PLAY" by expanding on their interests and needs and providing them with experiences to learn through such play.  My years of experience has taught me well what children respond to.  I offer a large playroom with a variety of toys and activities which I feel makes my day home a unique place to learn and grow.   I offer many child related play areas: Literature and Quiet, Dramatic Play, Blocks, Sand and Water, Manipulative Centre, Art as well as a large outdoor area to run, climb and play.  I also transport children and we can be found at the Public Libraries for story times and book lending, the Family Centre for Day Time Family Day Play Time in their large playroom, as well as outings to many beautiful parks and playgrounds our city has to offer.

During my free time I am busy making great memories with my husband, two grown daughters and our lovable basset hound Daisy.

I would love to have the opportunity to further discuss my services and unique program available to your child and family.
